Undistinguished types man such a ship? (4-5)
I believe the answer is:
twin-screw
'a ship?' is the definition.
'undistinguished types man' is the wordplay.
'undistinguished types' becomes 'twins' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'man' becomes 'crew' (crewing is a kind of manning).
'twins'+'crew'='TWIN-SCREW'
'such' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
